Let me begin by saying that I’ve wanted to publish this post for the past two months but have been unable to in my desire to communicate this announcement to friends, family, and co-workers first. Just sitting down to write feels like taking a deep breath. Well, I won’t keep you guessing…my big announcement is…I’m moving! [Continue Reading…]

Preparing for marriage is significantly more important to me than preparing for my wedding. Of course I want a beautiful summer day with gorgeous flowers, pretty music, perfectly-done hair and makeup, a freshly steamed white dress, and my friends and family together. But much more than that I desire a marriage that lasts–one that paints [Continue Reading…]

I can’t believe that it’s almost April! Last Friday, March 27th, marked Riley and my three “month-iversary” of being engaged…which means we’re nearly halfway through our engagement! I knew from the beginning that a long engagement was definitely not for us and I sure am glad it’s only seven months total–I can’t wait for our wedding! (And [Continue Reading…]

This post is sponsored by RESCUE. I have recently spent a lot of time getting rid of stuff and streamlining my life. There are, admittedly, certain places where I seem to hoard things unnecessarily (coughmyclosetcough), but one place where that has never been the case is my purse! I cannot stand purses with stray receipts, old tissues, [Continue Reading…]

As I mentioned in this post, the past weeks have been met with a lot of excitement, but also significant panic and anxiety. There was a period of about three weeks when I struggled to eat, sleep, and breathe normally each day. That period of time wasn’t enjoyable by any means, but over time, my body and mind [Continue Reading…]

I adore children. I have been babysitting since I was 12 years old, served as a Sunday School teacher for years, and now work full-time in Early Childhood. Although many of my friends and family have chosen the route of not having any children in their bridal parties, that was absolutely never an option for me. [Continue Reading…]

This weekend, I drove to Denton (where Riley and I will marry) for a wedding planning weekend! Along with our moms, we visited our wedding venue and met with our coordinator, trudged through boring important details, and shopped for my wedding dress! (Riley wasn’t invited to that part, though! 😉 ) My mom travels a lot for work, [Continue Reading…]

A love story isn’t just “Nice to meet you,” “I love you too,” “Yes, I’ll marry you,” and “I do.” In fact, it’s the thousands of tiny moments in between those big milestones that make a great couple and a great love story. Today I’m going to share a few of my favorite tiny moments [Continue Reading…]

The day after we got engaged, Riley and I started casually looking for venues online. We mostly just searched for “Denton, Texas weddings” and “Austin, Texas weddings” online, and then looked through Google Images. Whenever we saw a photo with a venue that looked promising, we’d click through and research it. No kidding–our very first “Oh [Continue Reading…]

(…Or, the beginning of 7 months of Christmas Eve-like anticipation…) Everyone told me that I’d be excited. But I had no idea it’d be like this. I’ve barely eaten in a few weeks (save roughly one meal a day). I’ve been awake until 2:00am every night. I wake up early, like really early, easily. It feels like [Continue Reading…]
